Fifteen technicians. Twelve Hogan locations. One incredible week of competition, training and teamwork. 🔧🏆
Earlier this month, some of Hogan’s top technicians traveled to our Atlanta shop for the annual Hogan Top Technician Competition—an event that celebrates technical excellence, professional growth and the people whose expertise keeps Hogan moving.
Throughout the week, competitors put their knowledge and skills to the test through written exams and hands-on stations covering brakes, electrical systems, HVAC, EV safety, 24-volt systems, cybersecurity, liftgates and more.
Please join us in congratulating our 2026 overall winners:
🥇 Brian Climes — Tampa, FL
🥈 Jessica McAllister — Springfield, MO
🥉 Caleb Walcott — Phoenix, AZ
All three winners are ASE World Class Technicians and have previously represented Hogan at National SuperTech. Their accomplishments reflect an exceptional level of skill, dedication and commitment to continued learning.
As Vice President of Maintenance Matt Starkey says, “Iron sharpens iron.” The Hogan Top Technician Competition gives our technicians the opportunity to challenge one another, exchange knowledge and return to their shops prepared to make their entire teams stronger.
We are incredibly proud of every technician who competed and grateful to the judges, volunteers, Hogan team members and vendor partners who contributed their time and expertise to make this year’s event a success.
